I am not sure what you mean. Could you please explain this a little more?

In my understanding the 2 options are:

1) compute the permissions before every $tt->process call then pass it 
to the template in addition to all the data relevant to the template itself.

2) just call $tt->process() on each template and pass data only relevant 
to the template and let toolbar retrieve the permissions and display 
itself as needed.

Am I missing something?

The permissions info is only used by the toolbar. Individual templates 
don't need it, because I have an Application module which will centrally 
check whether a user has a specific privelege before allowing the user 
access to specific functionality.

The info is stored in a Apache::Session::Postgres object, so each page 
would have to retrieve the session key from pnotes then use it to 
retrieve the permissions data from the above session object. I was 
thinking that since it's the same code in all places, that there would 
be a way to centralize it in one place (the toolbar) vs scatter it in 
every page.
IMHO, this would be a cleaner approach, but I may be wrong.
